                    In the front end on the android<br>
                    Setup->General->Remote Control->Enable
                    Network Remote Control Interface<br>
                    You have to restart frontend for it to take effect<br>
                    Then, on linux:<br>
                    telnet <android ip address> 6546<br>
                    set verbose playback<br>
                    <br>
                    I am not sure if you can set debug, perhaps with

                <div>Thanks, using this info I ran a test where my
                  Nvidia Shield TV was running Android Mythtv-frontend
                  VERSION: v31.0/fixes/31 31.20200101-1 91 QT/5.14.1
                  DBSchema/1361 which is the latest I see on the android
                  wiki links (<a
href="https://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/generic/mythtv_31/android_64/:mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk"
                    rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
                    moz-do-not-send="true">mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk</a>) 
                  not sure why the version from telnet query version
                  isn't the same.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>I select Live TV and once it starts I backup a few
                  seconds to make the video not so jumpy.  This is
                  standard practice for me on Live TV on any frontend
                  platform. I started this test at 16:17 and at 16:31, I
                  noticed a lot of jitter in the picture.  I checked the
                  adb logcat and the display was posting a lot of
                  entries per second.  At the beginning you'd see 1 per
                  sec.  Normally I'd backup a few seconds to fix it for
                  a while.  However, sometimes it fixes itself on it's
                  own.  This time it fixed before I could come back in
                  and skip backwards.  The issue is my adb linux system
                  is in another room. </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>So I posted a log file on my google drive and the
                  link is below. You see the number of entries increase
                  around 16:31. Hopefully, this data will help point to
                  a solution.</div>

          <div>This situation was the same except it shows the effect of

    Have you tried adjusting the audio read-ahead setting in frontend
    setup? (Setup->Video->Playback->Advanced->Audio
    read-ahead). You can increase this value to 500, 1000, even up to
    5000 and see if it helps.<br>
